Wow, how far is this from where Barbara disappeared? Odd that radio station is the only news source reporting the remains.

ETA- Roughly 70 miles from Kelbaker Road.

They describe the remains as skeletal. It could be

I have always hoped Barbara was living her best somewhere else, if that was not possible, my other hope has been that she would be found and returned to her family.
If it’s not Barbara then it will be closure for another family.

Not much here, homicide detectives sent to the scene.

Interesting, wonder valley is exactly the opposite direction to Vegas in a vertical line north to south
with mojave desert smack bang in the middle.

what a coincedence.

where are you Barbara! xx

Is Wonder Vally very far from where Barbara went missing ?
Excuse my ignorance. I did try to look it up on one of those sites but it just made me more confused.

Hopefully some poor family and friends will get their loved ones remains back no matter who it turns out to be.

Probably too recent but still missing.

Is 90 miles a distance that someone could walk out there in the conditions, heat, especially once they run out of water?

I know people do get lost, we have it regularly here in Australia in our outback places.

I think they just lose direction and sometimes walk around in circles and some are found within reach of help, if they just went over that hill they'd be at the fence of a property or a dirt road that does get one or two vehicles a day. So sad they were so close and didn't know it.

IMO, if those remains end up being BT, then I concede to foul play. IMO, there's no way she traveled that distance on foot.

I would be right there with you.

Same.
If it's our Barbara, someone drove her there. She did not 'wander off' or get picked up b/c she was wearing a bikini and drinking beer.
Imo.
Smh.
Hoping for answers soon.

Do we know the condition of that back road? Just wondering. Would it require 4WD?

I think it's Amboy Road to Kelbaker Road. Does this sound right? This is just giving a general idea. Did not use exact locations.

Erika went missing June 14th. In the desert heat, could her remains be skeletal by now?

I was wondering the same thing. The skeleton found in Wonder Valley is only 10 miles from 29 palms and I couldn't find any locals missing. The population is only about 650 -2013 census. I was also unable to find any more news reports.
Lots of native American history around the area, maybe the remains are historic. Moo.

 

[Knox]

Here's the map locations. You would take Kelbaker Road to National Trails Hwy, then jump on Amboy Road.

All paved road until you reach Wilson. Looks like it runs on either side of Amboy Rd, with scattered houses on one side and wide open desert on the other. I'll bet the motorcycle rider was on the unimproved side of Amboy & Wilson.

No, 90 miles is almost 145 km. The Mojave is a hardcore desert, no way would someone survive that far without water or shade in little more than a bikini and shorts.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

yes I was forgetting that 90 miles is much further than 90 km.
I think I was converting in reverse and had it as only 45km.
I had thought it was possible but scratch that.
Thanks!
